Dusty Singles from Jamaica

Hey!
Today I got a hold of a bunch of singles from Jamaica. These are golden classsics so I'm a lucky guy today. They sound rusty and old but that's the way I like it. To show you my love I did a little minimix of them for you.

Tastes of the World

The reason that I've been a little absent lately is that I've been lost in the etnomusical jungle listening to african, indian, arabic and latin music. To calm you down, here's some tastes from the big world of music. I hope you'll love it as much as I do.

Max Mix

Time flies by so quickly. It's now a whole week since my last post. An eternity on the nets.
Now I'm back with a little different treat for you. Those of you who have been around for a while might remember the spanish megamixers Mike Platinas and Javier Ussia who recorded several megamix-records called Max Mix. They were the biggest selling megamixers at the time. What strikes me when I listen to this mix is how alike it sounds to some of the retro mixes made today. This is a midtempo mix recorded in 1985. The first Max Mix. Enjoy

More Leroy

I got a little taste for more Leroy Burgess since I posted the Black Ivory song a couple of days ago. Leroy Burgess, a true legend, involved, behind and singing on projects like The Fantastic Aleems, Logg, Slippery People, Bumblebee Unlimited, Convertion, Phreek and more. There are a lot of big producers out there but not many have been so consistent in delivering good dance music until today. So here's some songs with Leroy Burgess.

Henry Lumpkin - I've Got A Notion

I thought it was time for a motown moment once again since it's been a while since last time. This song is a song that stops the time for me. Whatever I'm doing I'll have to stop and just listen and sing-a-long to this beautiful piece. Written by George Fowler, Brian Holland and Robert Bateman. Produced by Berry Gordy. Ladies and gentleman, Henry Lumpkin.

More Music To The Masses

Hey!
There's a lot of records that I've bought during the last months that I have wanted to share with you but there is so little time. I have always wondered how bloggers find the time to write and post stuff everyday. Anyway, I'll start posting a lot of songs now, but I will not write so much about the songs since I lack the time to do it. Please comment if you'd like to know anything about a track or so.

Much Love Disco Dave.
